Past World Trials

The International Sheep Dog Society has held six World trials, where competitors from all over the world qualify in their own countries to compete with their sheepdogs. The World Trial is held every three years. The first was in Bala in Wales in 2002, the second was in Tullamore in the Republic of Ireland in 2005, the third was in Llandeilo in Wales in 2008, the fourth was in Lowther in the Lake District in 2011, the fifth was in Tain in Scotland in 2014, and the sixth was in Hoogwoud in the Netherlands in 2017.
